Send them a link to that research and explain that the stove is devaluing the property so naturally your offer will reflect this?
(Call the estate agent and make an offer over the phone, they will then ring the client. You can offer what you like but bear in mind if they think your offer is bare jokes it might reduce your chances of a successful outcome. It's totally OK - and worth doing - to explain the thinking behind your bid to the agent so they can relay that too).

Is your property currently on the market?

On a slight tangent, Mrs Hammer and I would like to make an offer on a property with a wood burner - what's the best way to do this? Over the phone? By email? I'm also not sure on the etiquette of making offers. Is it fine to offer ~15% under asking on a cash-pending-sale-of-house basis, then switch to mortgage based offer if they won't take >8% under asking? This is in a market where houses aren't selling quickly and lots of stuff has multiple reductions...
